HAA Denies Spending $1 Million on Football

A spokesman for the Harvard Athletic Department yesterday called charges by Georgia Tech's coach Bobby Dodd that Harvard spends over $1 million annually on football "just plain wrong."

While the budget of the entire Athletic Department is in excess of $1 million, this figure includes all 17 intercollegiate sports, the intramural program, plus all administrative and upkeep costs. Football receives its due allotment from this figure, but the total is far below Dodd's estimate.
